Meet an American citizen fighting with South Sudan’s rebels

The conflict, cut along tribal lines, has led to a man-made famine, mass rape and a refugee crisis. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Simona Foltyn traveled to meet an American citizen who has joined the rebels in an effort to change the government.
